A lightmeter, a camera, a rangefinder, some film. All you need.
The 0-series replica is a simple camera. It doesn’t even have a rangefinder. Mine now does.

FOFER, an external rangefinder from 1930.

Ku’damm shadows
The first film from out of the 0-series replica Leica has been developed and I’m pleasantly surprised by the results. So, here are some shots I took with it in Berlin, on and around the Ku’damm. All on Kodak Portra 800.

In a hurry. So was I, not properly focussed, camera shake. Like it for it’s errors.

Heavy vignetting at f/5.6

Canon FD f/1.2 85 mm and Visoflex (Type 020) fitted
Putting a Visoflex electronic viewfinder on a Leica M10-D seems nonsensical.

The Leica “Systemtasche” by Oberwerth
The times they are a’changing. In these gender-fluid times, a man can get excited about a leather bag. By all means! So I did.
